Ethical conditions were incorporated into my production work by adhering to the three primary aspects of ethical consideration, namely privacy, accessibility, and diversity, so that each user would feel at ease in the visual world while having their requirements satisfied.
Privacy
Accessibility
Users don’t feel excluded because they are all equally equal in the virtual world. This is beneficial for privacy because it prevents strangers from knowing who is who simply by looking at their avatars. A visual element was also added to the production piece in place of words because text might be difficult for those who struggle with reading or vision. Just four keyboard keys will be available to those with movement issues, or they can connect a specialist device.
Diversity
Since all of the content in the WebVR is entirely neutral, no user will encounter any discrimination-related material. The information was produced so that readers might learn something new on their own.
Why Ethical Consideration is important in Emerging Technology?
Companies can implement a variety of techniques to address ethical concerns associated with developing technologies. Companies that are proactive and engage with stakeholders can assist guarantee that these technologies are developed and used responsibly and ethically (Ada Fetahu-Haxhiaj, Linkedin, 29 December 2022).
With simply a URL link, users can now access augmented and virtual material more easily thanks to WebAR and WebVR technologies, which do away with the requirement for users to download separate applications. By using this strategy, AR and VR experiences become more accessible and convenient for a wider range of users (Israel Okereke, Linkedin, 7 August 2023).
It’s important to accept and understand other cultures, particularly in a multicultural workplace. Through immersive scenarios created by VR training, employees can get a firsthand look at cultural diversity. Your staff can virtually attend a traditional Indian wedding to learn about cultural conventions, or they might visit a restaurant in Japan to learn about local etiquette (Christopher Pappas, eLearning Industry, 15 November 2023).
